This question is from Wendi:
We are renovating our home and are looking for hand-held shower heads that are affordable and low flow yet still have decent pressure. First, could you help me understand what is considered low flow? I've seen shower heads with a rate of 2.5 gpm listed as low flow on the packaging, but I had always thought that anything 2 gpm or less was low flow. Second, do any of your readers know of any to recommend?

 
 

Wendi,

As far as we can tell, any showerhead with a flow under 2.5 gpm is technically considered "low flow." However, it's obviously preferable to shoot for the lowest number possible that still gives you an enjoyable shower.

We posted about the Kohler MasterShower relaxing Eco handshower ($98.95) before. It' a 2.0 gpm option, but it's pricey.

Let's see if any readers have low flow hand held showerheads that they love?
